National Women's Policy 2025–2030 Aims To Empower Women, Strengthen Nation

GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 (Bernama) -- The third edition of the National Women's Policy (DWN) and Women's Development Action Plan (PTPW) 2025–2030 serves as a strategic guide to implement programmes, initiatives and collaborative efforts by all stakeholders. Women's Development Department (JPW) director-general Hanani Sapit said the renewed policy reflects the government's ongoing commitment under the Malaysia Madani framework to uphold and elevate the status of women, ensuring they continue to be respected, celebrated and recognised across sectors, both locally and globally. 'This policy, led by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, is not solely the responsibility of the ministry. It is a national-level policy involving federal and state governments, the private sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and civil society,' she said during an interview on Bernama TV's Apa Khabar Malaysia programme today. The updated policy focuses on four key areas, namely economy, leadership, safety and well-being. Implementation began immediately following its launch on March 8 in conjunction with International Women's Day. Hanani said that in drafting the policy, the government strengthened engagement with ministries, agencies and NGOs to ensure it is embedded at the grassroots levels. At the same time, JPW, through its State Women's Development Offices, will continue to intensify advocacy and literacy programmes in communities. The DWN and PTPW 2025–2030 aim to enable women to participate meaningfully and realise their full potential through inclusive development and gender equality. The slogan 'Empowering Women, Strengthening the Nation' was adopted to reflect the role of women as national assets, capable of shaping the country's economic growth, given that they make up nearly 50 per cent of Malaysia's population. The policy also emphasises the importance of shared leadership between men and women in national development, in line with the demographic ratio of 111 men for every 100 women. 'This inclusive approach is crucial to ensure that policy and programme development remains people-friendly and socially inclusive. Gender equality is not just a moral goal, but a critical driver of economic and social progress,' she added.

Community Mediator Plays Important Role In Resolving Conflicts At Local Level

GENERAL GEORGE TOWN, June 23 (Bernama) -- A community mediator plays an important role as an intermediary in resolving conflicts and misunderstandings at the community level. The Penang National Unity and Integration Department (JPNIN) deputy director Zulkhairi Zainal said community mediators are at the forefront, performing their duties proactively, transparently and at no cost, thereby helping to avoid court or enforcement intervention in minor cases that can be resolved harmoniously. 'These mediators comprise chairpersons of the Neighbourhood Watch Areas (KRT), who are specifically trained and certified by JPNIN as initial or preliminary assistants in case of any disputes in the community. "They act pro bono, meaning without payment and voluntarily. They are appointed to reduce issues or conflicts at the community level before they become more serious," he said to reporters after attending the Penang State Level Community Mediator Dialogue Session here today. He said there are 47 active community mediators in Penang, and the JPNIN will continue to train chairpersons or new KRT committee members from time to time to strengthen this role. Meanwhile, he said today's dialogue session involved several agencies such as the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), National Education Department (JPN), National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK), and the Penang Housing Board (LPNPP), aimed at introducing the role of mediators and opening up collaboration opportunities between the agencies and JPNIN. 'Sometimes domestic issues in schools or police stations such as misunderstandings, minor arguments and family conflicts can be resolved without the need to go to court. Here is where the role of community mediators is important as a bridge to reaching an amicable solution between the parties involved,' he said. At the same time, he suggested that government agencies facing community-related issues should make community mediators their initial point of reference to resolve conflicts peacefully and judiciously. According to the National Unity Ministry, community mediators are third parties who strive to gain the acceptance of those involved in a social conflict to find points of agreement that are acceptable to all parties, with the hope that their relationships do not continue to deteriorate but instead become more positive.
